Let's wrap up the installation of your Dome Camera. Here, you will find an overview of your installation options. 🎥
Part 1 | Camera perspective
Talking about mounting your Dome Camera, you typically have to react to the given possibilities of your facility. Of course, the height of the Dome Camera has a significant influence on the field of view. Higher positions provide a better overview of the entire court - but the players are much smaller. Lower positions give you a better perspective of the player close to the camera.
💡Tip: Basically, we recommend mounting the camera at a height of 3-4m. But again, you have to check which options you have at all.
☝🏼 By the way: The camera can still be aligned in the housing after mounting (vertical and horizontal panning), if necessary.
Option 1 | Behind the baseline
Ensure that the baseline is fairly parallel to the bottom of the image. At the same time, make sure that there is enough visible space behind the front baseline. As you see on the picture above, this might not always be possible.
Option 2 | Next to the sideline
Ensure that the sideline is fairly parallel to the bottom of the image. Sideline perspective is only recommended if you have the possibility to install the camera at the height of the net.
For Picklr clubs: The Dome Camera is supposed to be mounted at the sideline in all Picklr locations. We recommend attach the camera to the fence between the courts, as shown in the image below.
Part 2 | Mount the Dome Camera
We have designed a special mounting plate for our Dome Camera that allows you to react to the most diverse conditions at your facility.
💡Pro Tip: Do the fine tuning of the camera perspective together with a partner. While one person checks the live image of the Baseline Camera in the configuration mode of the Wingfield Box, the other person should directly make the corrections to the camera position.
⚠️ Attention: Make sure you mount the camera the right way round. Use the Wingfield logo at the top as an indicator. Otherwise the camera image will be upside down. It is possible that the microphone is not positioned as shown in the illustration.
| How do you want to mount your camera? |
| ⏭️ Mounting on a fence or post |
| ⏭️ Mounting on a solid wall |
Option 1 | Fences or posts
For Picklr clubs: This is the recommended mounting option for Picklr clubs and the most common solution when you want to place your Dome Camera at the sideline.
Use our Pole Mounts to attach the Dome Camera to poles. The scope of delivery includes different sizes for different circumferences.
- 1️⃣ Attach the pole mount to the fece: Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove one of the two elements of the pipe loop, place it around the pole and retighten the screws.
- 2️⃣ Attach the Dome Camera to the pole mount: Remove the two front screws of the pole mount with the Allen key provided. Insert both screws through the middle holes of the Dome Camera and tighten them again.
Option 2 | Solid walls
This is the most common mounting option when you want to place the Dome Camera behind the Baseline.
☝🏼 By the way: We show you the exemplary mounting on a solid wall (e.g. stone or concrete). If you mount the camera on a wooden wall or beam, you do not need to pre-drill holes or use dowels.
- 1️⃣ Use the mounting plate as a template to mark the drill holes. Getting help to position the camera as centrally as possible behind the baseline is recommended.
- 2️⃣ Always use the screws and dowels supplied. If you use your own screws, ensure their heads fit through the mounting plate. Let the screws protrude 0,78'' - 1,18'' (2-3cm) from the wall so that there is enough space to hang them.
- 3️⃣ Hang up the mounting plate. Be careful not to pinch the network cable anywhere and tighten the screws.
Part 3 | Align the Dome Camera
⚠️ Attention: You can only adjust the direction of the camera if it is mounted on the wall or to a fence.
 |
Pan = turning the camera to the left or right |
| Tilt = turning the camera up or down | |
| Rotate = rotating the lens around its own axis |
- 1️⃣ Turn the two dome cover fixing screws anti-clockwise using the supplied Allen spanner to remove the cover.
- 2️⃣ First adjust the tilt angle so that your desired image section is taken into account.
- 3️⃣ Adjust the horizontal angle to ensure that the image is not upside down.
- 4️⃣ Then adjust the tilt angle so that your desired image section is covered.
- 5️⃣ Put the dome cover back over the camera and tighten the two fixing screws.
⚠️ Attention: Never forcefully rotate the focus/zoom lens after disassembling the lens body. Doing so may result in incorrect image focus due to a motor error.
